Details

1. Configure Firefox to use SOCKS5 proxy with "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5". 2. webRequest.onCompleted(...console.log(request);...) Expected behavior: The "ip" is proxy server's address. Actual behavior: If .proxyInfo.proxyDNS is "true", the "ip" field could return true IP address. (and the "ip" should lookup via the proxy, not locally)

Oops, the "Expected" and "Actual" is different
The ip is the ip the socket is connecting to (in this case the proxy server), not of the server ultimately connected to via proxy. If you also proxyDNS, there is no way we know the ip address of the web server.
